Hi, my name is Sophie, I am a senior, and I've been writing for The Lance for three years! I love shopping, reality TV, and I think Hulu is better than Netflix. I also work at a pet groomer and get to give dogs baths all day!

I think it’s important that we continue to learn about French, and about other cultures through Diversity Day, and we continue our experience off of our club.

Joseph LaVine, senior, Lebanon: My country is smaller than most states, as its smaller than New Jersey, in both population and size, but I think my favorite thing about Lebanon is just the food, because there is so much food that’s just so unique, and I pretty much live off of the food whenever I eat.
